I got an answer from SGP regarding if the Neo Hybrid Case will fit

for a GNex (GSM) + 2000 mAh battery:

--------------

Dear Andreas,

Thank you for contacting SGPstore.com Customer Service Department.

Hi, my name is Joseph from SGPstore.com.

We know that our Ultra Capsule for the Galaxy Nexus GSM version fits tightly with the extended battery, but we do not recommend using the Neo Hybrid Case for the extended battery. However, we do have 30 day money back guarantee where you can purchase the item and if you are dissatisied with it you can return it to us for a refund.

--------------

So I'm not sure if I will buy one. The siliconback may stretch/sag too much

because of my ext. cover and I still want to use the ext. battery.

4Pr3mier posted his pics of a iPhone and I'm not sure how comparable

the case is with the version for the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftden:
Using one right now. Ultra Capsule fits perfectly with my GSM Gnex with the extended batt 2000mah. If i use the normal batt, there is a space at the back.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calubren:
Strange but good for us that the case fits with the extended battery better than the normal. Can you please make some fotos of the case?

Fresh from my GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whereisit:
How does it feel on the hand? And is the material feels hard? Because I have a Ringke Slim case, it is hard case and feel good when holding the phone but it cut open on both sides of if you know what I'm talking about, I don't feel it fully protected.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Have an LTE Gnex but a GSM case like the Ringke Rearth/SGP Neo/SGP Ultra Capsule?

I will trade you for the Barely there case for the VZW Galaxy Nexus. I bought this way before it was known that it is meant for the LTE version, not GSM. It is completely unused, in original packaging and bill.

Color-Matte Black
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
PM sent. I think its doable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
PM sent. I think its doable. Do you have the packaging still?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Anyone know when SGP will begin selling these cases? I want that Silver one badly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
I just bought one last night over eBay from here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-...Accessories&hash=item19ccbb8a74#ht_7640wt_905

It looks legitimate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Yep, its Shimshop so definitely legit. Got an extended battery in the post to me from them which is gonna be closely followed a soul black one!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Nice catch there. I already ordered a neo hybrid in yellow and should be expecting it any day now and will let you all know how it fits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swiftden:
Phone now is a little bulky. Not sticky and not slippery too. I have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and 2000mah extended batt.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KrazyDesi22:
Is the Neo Hybrid less bulkier than the otterbox commuter for anybody with experience? Wondering If I should buy one, the otterbox is really bulky but if the the difference is very minimal than I would rather not.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
planning on buying the same. remember to post photos of it when you get it.

(still not 100% sure I want it in yellow but it does look nice in the pictures)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
are there cutouts for the buttons? Its hard to see on the black cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
I sure will. Might even write up a review and post the link
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Neo Hybrid=No for cdma :(

Ok so i just recieved my yellow neo-hybrid case in the mail. I'm gonna start off with it absolutly does not fit with an extended battery. With the standard battery it is a really tight fit. at the top the cover doesn't come up over the plastic at all, unless you pull on it and try to stretch it out a bit, but then when you put the plastic cover on the volume button gets pushed on and when u try to hit the power button it doesnt do anythin but lower your volume. I'm very dissapointed about the fit, the case looks VERY nice and feels great, but it doesn't fit good. I think it would fit better on the gsm model and not the verizon one. I really like this case, but looks like im gonna be returning it :(

heres a few pics......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
does look nice, but definitely for the GSM model... was no chance of it fitting the LTE WITH the extended battery...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
well ive been pulling on the inside rubber part to stretch it out a little and it's starting to sort of fit. I'm debating on cuting the rubber on the top so that the plastic can go on without that gap that it has right now but ill leave it on for now and see how i like it. I like the look and feel of this case too much to give up and return it lol.

Ill update a little later on wat i decide........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
if you bought it from this seller http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...asesPouches&hash=item1c22d71a8c#ht_7645wt_905

you would see the warning that it might not fit the Verizon version perfectly.

but I'm getting a GSM version so I'm guessing it will fit.

its hard to see in the pictures but is the color like a Lamborghini yellow or is it brighter because I really only like yellow when its just the right yellow, otherwise it looks weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaptorMD:
I'm very disappointed they are not offering a version for the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon (and soon Sprint). Not to mention I did email them asking if it would work for LTE version and of course they didn't answer. Fortunately I found the answers here.

I have purchased SGP products for just about every smartphone I have had (and I have owned a lot of them) and sadly I won't be getting anything from them for my Galaxy Nexus LTE as they won't be supporting fully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
No i didnt buy it from them, but it was from ebay, somewere. And i know what you mean about the yellow being weird but this one is perfect in my opinion, im not a yellow fan but this one is awesome, i guess u could say it is a lambo yellow or ferrari yellow. its nice and i think you will like it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
well I have bought Case-Mate products for all my phones so far and they only make them for the Verizon version so I was really happy when I finally found a company that made some good looking cases for the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaptorMD:
Actually Case-Mate offers a wider range of cases for the Galaxy Nexus GSM, they only (1) for the Verizon LTE version and it doesn't fit the extd. battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
Only the one for the Verizon version is on their website and from what I heard the tough cases they sell on Ebay got some problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Got my silver Neo Hybrid case for the Nexus today. I'm rocking the unlocked GSM version so it fits the phone perfect. I hope SGP makes some compatible for the Verizon model soon because this is a fantastic case. It looks so sexy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fullmetal509:
More pictures!

I've been eyeing the silver/gun metal case also!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
I'll be posting up a review soon on my YouTube channel. http://youtube.com/BlackPrince310
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josehg88:
Do you think that could be adjusted well to the gsm version with extended battery?

thanks ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it has been stated that it does not work well with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kisekio:
Hey, the silver is matte and not glossy right?

I actually prefer black one but since it is glossy I'm changing direction to silver.

Seems they only have silver and yellow for matte type, and red, black, white for glossy.

Miss the matte gold colour as they have on SGSII.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josehg88:
it has been stated that it does not work well with the extended battery in LTE model, I am asking for the GSM model

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexi250:
Yellow is glossy too, only the silver is matte. Love my Satin Silver! :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Wow, that is one sexy case. Only if someone could test how it fits with the GSM extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
I/we wouldn't have to worry about compatibility with the extended battery if they would just make the darn Hybrid EX version... sighhh... in gunmetal too!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheLurg1687:
I want this too for my LTE Galaxy Nexus! But I have the extended battery. I finally found a case I like, and I cant have it :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Here is my full review of the SGP Neo Hybrid case. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mlg5aE9dRbo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheLurg1687:
Your review is WHY I want the darn thing so bad! The LTE extended battery one needs to come out ASAP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arcadia310:
Did they already announce that one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesliewong:
@Arcadia310, nice YouTube review.

Does the polymer coating on the inner silicone part make the case drag less when you put in or out of your pocket?

I've had some silicone cases that are soft and don't slide in and out of a pocket as easily as a polycarbonate case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Custom Neo-Hybrid EX? case for the nexus? ;)

Ok so since i don't like the fit too much of this case and saw some EX cases for the SGII i figured I would give this a try..........

teaser pic :)

i have tried it on with both the standard battery and extended version and im liking it, putting on a Invisible shield protector on the extended battery cover to add some protection of some sort.

Willl post some pics of the finished product tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Thats what i'm referring to, sgp did state that the GSM version with extended battery and cover does have a very tight fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Nice little review man, definitely THE case for the GN... and was worth an ad on G+...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
Can you also check to see if the back camera touches the surface when it is laid screen-up on a table?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josehg88:
specting for results :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4ftermath:
Bought a white one... should arrive in...4 weeks?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josehg88:
please post it, I have eager to see the final result ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Harrison_K:
I just purchased both the Neo-Hybrid and the Ultra Capsule, both in Soul Black. Will post reviews of both when the arrive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
4 weeks? I bought mine from Shimshop on eBay and got this:

I live pretty close to Melbourne too. If yours is shipping from Korea I'd assume it'd be the same 7-14 days shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheLurg1687:
Do we know if one will be made for the LTE version? I really need a case. Already broke one phones screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellosunnydays:
Not sure if you are asking about the Neo Hybrid or Ultra Capsule, but I sent a message to the SGP/SPIGEN store on Amazon asking about the Ultra Capsule. This is the reply:

I really hope the Ultra Capsule cases for the LTE version come out soon! I'm looking forward to having the white one on my phone. So far I haven't found any of the cases available for the LTE version very attractive at all. I'm looking for something more feminine and refined, yet protective.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] czonin:
Great to hear that they're making them for the LTE. Keep us posted if you hear any more news on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k20igor:
Updated my modified SGP NEO HYBRID!

Hey everyone, i updated my review post of my modified neo hybrid case lol

so go check it out and if you have any questions feel free to ask

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Really nice to see the LTE one is in the works. I really want this case. I've read the past 2 pages and I see people say it won't fit the LTE version with the extended battery......so would it work with the regular battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Never mind. Found my answer a few pages back :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
I love this case but hate that the only matte version they have is silver :mad: i wanna get the white one so bad, but i hate glossy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
Sweet! I want a yellow ultra capsule!! It matches with my tennis gear. black and yellow, black and yellow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Desperately trying to find somewhere in the uk where I can buy a silver neo hybrid...

Can anyone help with a website that I may not have stumbled across yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lippstuh:
I hope they are smart enough to develop it for the LTE with extended battery, which should fit the standard battery too. It's such a small difference in size anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
:p:pebay:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yeah, just found one.

Was hoping to find it a bit cheaper though.

I'll maybe think about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
during my visit to china shenzhen early february, i'm sure i'll be able to pick one up cheap, maybe less than half the price of that on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That would be amazing!

Not casting any aspersions on you, but would it be a genuine SGP one, or a copycat?

PM me if you are serious, and we can work out the issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
i only buy original items, i know what to look for, if they are fakes, i dont buy them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is anyone using the Neo Hybrid case with the SGP Flex screen protector?

If so, do they work well together - meaning does the case catch the edge of the screen protector, causing it to lift up??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] purplemarauder:
Amazon UK are selling them currently for £20.99... just ordered a white one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommy_FIN:
How's the grip on this case? You all know that the gnex is like a piece of soap in your hands...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kodath:
Just got mine in soul black, this thing is so dope! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
What screen protector are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kodath:
momax screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Forgive me if this has been answered but does anyone have the hybrid with the GSM extended battery and can confirm it fits? This is the prettiest and thinnest of the hybrid cases it seems and would be awesome to know if it fits before I buy it. Not interested in it barely fitting or warped edges.

Well... reread through. No definitive answer yet. Someone said sgp told them tight fit. Now does tight fit mean warped and in danger of scratching your phone and/or not look right.... or just that it fits with no room to spare?

Never mind question answered
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
The whole case should be matte black, like the battery cover :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fullmetal509:
Wet or non wet application?

And may you send link?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kodath:
http://www.momax.net/cn/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1671&T=1

had my relatives send me them from Hong Kong.

Its a dry application.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
What answer did you find? I ordered both so sooner or later I'll be able to tell you definitively.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
Whoever said that the SGP Neo Hybrid case doesn't fit the GSM GNex with the extended battery, I have no idea what you're smoking. I just received mine from shim shop (ordered on Jan 18) in soul black, and it fits perfectly, just like a glove. Just wanted to let you guys know. Its a fantastic case, gives the phone a lot of class (not that it was lacking to begin with).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I dont think anyone did say that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
The distinction between fitting a Verizon GNex with the extended battery, and fitting the GSM with extended battery was never clearly made, or rather, never answered in the affirmative. I just wanted to encourage people who were thinking about this case to not feel disappointed about fit (as I was initially), because its a truly fantastic, high quality case (for the GSM users).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cingkrab:
Could you post some pictures if possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I agree with what you say, sgp has always made great case, and also one of the first to produce good quality for newly released phone.

but in hong kong there prices aren't cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
This is probably the first definitive answer we got regarding the Hybrid and the GSM extended battery. It's encouraging that it fits but I'll still wait for others to chime in.

Any chance for some pictures?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
SGP Neo Hybrid on GSM+Extended battery

Upon request, here are a few pictures to show that the Neo Hybrid case indeed fits well on a GSM GNex with the official 2000mAh extended battery.

Go for it guys, this is the best case around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
Gah, where did you find a black one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
@samarth1 thanks a bunch, pulled the trigger based on your recommendation. i thought it wouldn't work with the gsm extended battery like the reviews said

edit: did you have to leave off the battery cover?

@phishie shimshop on ebay
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
I got mine from shimshop on eBay. Took 8 business days to come from Korea. It came with a nice box and an authentication code to make sure its an original. $27.71 is what I paid for it, worth all of it really. And no I didn't have to leave off the battery cover, fits perfectly with it on, and I imagine it will get better as the case conforms to the extended battery cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
Ridiculous. I'm annoyed the SGP store only had silver and red, would have ordered black from simshop if I had known.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
Ordered a yellow one and a Flex screen protector from shimshop too even through I haven't bought the phone yet (I like to be prepared).

They are really friendly even through their English isn't exactly perfect. Good customer service imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
I just got my red one that I ordered from shimshop on Jan 14, and that was shipped on Jan 16. I'm really happy with its sleeknees so far. I've been using the phone with an Otterbox Commuter for the past week and almost forgot how thin and light the phone was.

Thanks to samarth1's pics, I'm going to pull the trigger on the extended battery too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcoWPY:
In Hong Kong, we can only get black, white and yellow......what the f'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
I got mine from Hong Kong, I saw Pink, Silver, Black, Yellow & White...I got the white.

Check Sintat building and the other building (I forgot, Mongkok Exit E2 Turn right, it's the shop on top of Wellcome)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
Mine just arrived as well. I got the red one. Really happy with it.

I'm using it with a GSM Galaxy Nexus with the stock battery, if anyone wants pictures I'm happy to take some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snidrx:
Can you please upload photos? I am really excited, just ordered one today, but it would take 2-3 weeks before I can get my hands on it =) tia
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcoWPY:
I think Kwai Fong is cheaper than Sin Tat, I have bought my neo hybrid case for HKD180 only at Kwai Fong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it is cheap when you compare it with the Ultra Capsule Case selling at HKD150-200
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vennstrom:
dang....I spent HKD268 for the sake of casegasm :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
@samarth... I'm at work so for some reason those thumbnails are blocked, but does the case fit without deformation? Wierd that it would work with the extended GSM (which I have) but not with the LTE non extended. I'll have to make sure I buy mine from shim shop then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Huntlaar:
iwas going to order this one from amazon it cost about 27$ :ichanged my mind and rhen orered 3 lite razr for 20 $ :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
Yup the case fits without any deformity with the extended GSM battery. Not sure why the LTE wouldn't fit, because I've held one and it felt exactly like the GSM does with the extended battery (as in, more rounded). Get yours from shimshop, they have excellent customer service and the case even comes with an authenticity number to make sure its original. It took me 7 business days to get here. Well worth the $27.71 for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
I ordered mine from shimshop on eBay on the 18th and it arrived today. Postage was very quick. I'm usually very (very) particular when it comes to cases, but I'm definitely happy with this one. It looks fantastic and every cut-out is perfectly aligned.

The main thing I was worried about before getting the case was whether or not my headphones would plug into the jack unobstructed. I've tested this out and it's a tight fit, but it does plug in fully. So for anyone else with that same concern there isn't anything to worry about.

EDIT: I've just tried a 1/4"->3.5mm adaptor and it does not fit. At all. If you plan on using 1/4" headphones with the 3.5mm adaptor you will need to take this case off first. I suspect this is the same for all cases though.

These photo's were taken with a HTC Legend.

Flash on:

Flash off:

I'm not sure if anybody has answered this yet, but the rubber from the case sits slightly higher than the camera, so when you lay it on a table the camera won't be touching the surface. The same applies for the front of the case - there's a slightly raised edge around the glass that stops the screen from touching a flat surface when placed face-down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
Thanks for the clarification. I would have gone with shimshop but their shipping took too long. I ended up getting it from the sgp store on amazon. for 30 bucks total it should be here by thursday. Hoping everything fits nicely!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
Black soul ordered from Shimshop, hopefully I'm a case convert.

Damn, didn't realise Amazon had the black ones now. Would have preferred the quicker delivery over saving three fifty, suppose I'll just have to tell myself I'm getting it from 'the' homeland...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CC13:
Thanks for the heads up on Amazon. I ordered mine from there tonight, and they deliver to Canada. 21.99 for case and 3.98 for shipping.

Cheers! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snidrx:
Thanks for sharing photos! Can't wait for mine! I ordered a flex screen kit from shimshop, they have good service and reliable free shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhunt407:
My white one arrived today from wowsomethingnew on eBay took 10 days from ordering to arrive here in the UK.

Absolutely love it already and its only been on a few minutes. Its very light, very thin and adds much less bulk than I had expected.

Few pics:

I'm currently using the SGP Flex shield on the screen - although I'm not a big fan of the orange-peel effect so will be changing it out shortly for an XO Skins.

But on first impressions of this case I am very happy. Also I have written a quick review of it here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Staggers:
Great pics. The white really looks nice. Makes me think of snatching one up to use when I get bored with the red.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
Here's the response I got just today regarding the LTE w/ extended battery:

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaspaTheGhost:
The black has disappeared on Amazon and Shimshop out of stock... Great...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Foxhounnd:
Anyone know of a good Desk dock that fits with this case?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrPenguins:
I'm chasing the same thing

I created a new thread but will hopefully be answered here

Just after a cheap desk dock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAlp:
I got my yellow Neo Hybrid today so now I just need the phone but because of some papers that were (and I quote and translate) "lost between christmas and new year" I now don't have any money..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Znomon:
So the website says that they dont fit on the Verizon Gnexus, but some of the comments are saying that it does fit the Verizon one. What is the final verdict on the verizon gnex and this case?. (no extended battery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
Or with, for that matter....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fullmetal509:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hwaiting:
Is the silicone part of the Neo Hybrid sticky and a lint magnet like traditional silicone cases are? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kinbote:
No, it's more like rubber.
